HONORING GREG GOODMAN FOR HIS PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BOB CLEMENT

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 6, 1998

  Mr. CLEMENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Greg Goodman, a 
valued constituent of the Fifth Congressional District of Tennessee.
  Greg Goodman has taken top origination honors for the State of 
Tennessee for the third year in a row. Greg is a vice president of Sun 
Trust Bank in Nashville and has been with the bank since graduating 
from David Lipscomb College in 1991.
  Greg has closed over $240 million in residential loans since 1991. 
Greg is not only number one in the State of Tennessee, but also has the 
honor of being one of the top originators in the southeastern United 
States. Greg has completed Course I at the School of Mortgage Banking 
at Charleston University and is one of the top marketers in the United 
States.
  Greg's secret is based on the utilization and building of 
relationships. In his words: ``My commitment starts with relationships. 
Relationship selling is focused on the customer. Exceeding expectations 
is the single most powerful way our team has of building credibility.'' 
Greg is a strong advocate of under-promising and over-delivering.
  Greg is an active social person, married to the former Alethea 
Barker, a member of the Church of Christ, and he celebrates his 30th 
birthday on August 14, 1998. Greg is destined to continue breaking 
records in selling. I wish him the best of luck in his future 
endeavors.
